Fleury Abbey

The Romanesque undercroft (space under a church) at Fleury Abbey, France. Early twelfth century. (For more information about the building see Paradox Place).

Romanesque undercrofts of this type have led to the suggestion that what it known as the Norman Chapel at Durham Castle was in fact an undercroft itself and not a chapel (See next image). Historic accounts seem to indicate that it was in fact a chapel though.
